Determine whether the following pairs of linear equations intersect at a
point, are parallel, or coincident:
5x – 4y + 8 = 0, 7x + 6y – 9 = 0
9x + 3y + 12 = 0, 18x + 6y + 24 = 0
6x – 3y + 10 = 0, 2x – y + 9 = 0
[Link] of the following pairs of linear equations are
consistent/inconsistent? If consistent, obtain the solution graphically:
x + y = 5, 2x + 2y = 10
x – y = 8, 3x – 3y = 16
2x + y – 6 = 0, 4x – 2y – 4 = 0
2x – 2y – 2 = 0, 4x – 4y – 5 = 0
3. 10 students of Class X took part in a Mathematics quiz. If the number

5.
7x – 15y = 2, x + 2y = 3
x + y = 14, x – y = 4
s – t = 3, s/3 + t/2 = 6
3x – y = 3, 9x – 3y = 9
0.2x + 0.3y = 1.3, 0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3
√2x + √3y = 0, √3x – √8y = 0
x/2 + 2y/3 = -1, x - y/3 = 3
